Safe to Install along side Cloudron? lm-sensors

[humptydumpty]

The fan on my homeserver runs annoyingly loud even on idle. There's no setting to lower it in the BIOS, I can only increase it. The only option left is through Ubuntu. Chatgpt suggested I install lm-sensors to modify the fan speed. Is this safe to do?

Question is still valid, but it's eff'n Paperless maxing the CPU again

I have it installed on my home server without problems - though only to provide information, not control fans

Great, I'll give it a try. I'm out of options!

I would be surprised if the default configs do not regulate the fan already. As you mention mostly the Paperless issue with CPU simply heats up the CPU continuously, so we have to first get down to that issue.
